Quality Control |

|
The quality of any product depends upon the quality of each and
every element that makes it up. The
failure of any single element, no matter how minor part it plays, may
compromise an entire project. Because of
this SUDECO applies stringent control measures at every single stage of design,
manufacture and supply from the design calculation, drawings and technical
specification and selection of raw materials to production through to the point
of sale.
SUDECO has developed a
detailed quality assurance programme to maintain a
strict universal set procedure to manufacture its equipment. Highly demanding tests are applied, for everything
from metallurgical properties of the raw materials to detailed performance
tests of the completed product, to ensure that the products lives up to the
enviable reputation SUDECO demands today.
Procedures
which have been set to meet these requirements are:
- Purchase request to ensure that
quality requirements are indicated at the tendering stage.
- Inspection planning to formulate
quality requirements in advance.
- Vendor quality rating including
survey of vendors to assess their capacity and capability to meet required
quality standards.
- Inspection at source to ensure
that standard bought-out or sub-contracted items meet specifications.
- Incoming inspection to ensure that
purchased materials meet the specification. This covers raw materials, semi-finished
and finished products going into assembly, consumable products going into
the production process, etc.
- In-process quality control by
adopting patrol inspection and stage inspection during various stages of
manufacture.
- Special process and adaptability
tests and checks by way of mock-up and feasibility of procedures to meet
quality requirements.
- Documentation by way of quality
control programme for equipment being
manufactured to customer's requirements, which are generally made
according to international standards or statutory acts.
- Recording of material test
certificates/conformity reports for traceability of each component in
relation to drawings and specifications associated with each project.
Stage inspection during the course of manufacture and assembly is
by far the most important activity.
